News brings word that Jared Taylor has been banned from the Schengen Zone, which is most of Europe, until 2021. He learned of this while traveling in Europe. He was leaving Zurich for Stockholm when he was detained by border authorities. He was planning to speak at the Scandza Forum in Sweden and the Awakening in Finland. Instead he will spend the night in the airport and then he will be deported. The reason for this was not given, but Jared suspects it has to do with his recent trip to Poland.
This is another example of the fact that the West is no longer a world bound by fixed rules objectively enforced. There are plenty of rules, for sure, but those rules are arbitrary and subject to the whims of the administrative state. In this case, someone in the Polish government had him banned from Europe. There has been no reason given, but the reason is obvious. Someone in the administrative state decided to score points with their coreligionists by pushing the right buttons on the screen to have Taylor banned.
That is the pattern we have seen with the de-platforming and doxxing over the last several years. The people responsible are not at the top. It is people in the bureaucracies of government, the tech oligopolies or the banks. For example, we know petty tyrants at Amazon are responsible for the rash of book banning there. It’s not Jeff Bezos or some C-level executive making these decisions. Instead it is people in the labyrinth of cubicles spread around the globe. It’s petty tyrants exercising their tiny bit of arbitrary power.
This is a phenomenon we see all over the West now. The massive bureaucracies that maintain the custodial state, most of which are outside the reach of democratic oversight, are filled with people having the disposition of meter maids. They not only delight in enforcing the smallest of rules, but they take pleasure seeing their victims suffer grave consequences from running afoul of those small rules. It’s this sadism that drives them to seek out new victims and torment them like cats playing with a mouse.
That’s what you see here. The Polish lunatics who got Taylor banned decided to make a study of him, in order to pick the right time to inflict the maximum pain. She saw that Taylor would be in Europe around this time and pushed through the ban so it created the maximum amount of inconvenience for him and the event organizers. She was probably hoping Taylor would be in Stockholm, so his deportation could be a made into a public spectacle. Again, these petty tyrants take pleasure in their work.
This is the reality of rule by childless females operating in massive bureaucracies free of responsibility. No one at the top in these organizations fears the wrath of voters or their representatives, so they are now immunized from all legal consequences. As a result, they have no reason to makes sure the people working in their fiefdoms follow the rules of decency, much less the laws of their host countries. If the bureaucrat, who banned Taylor, is found to have been wrong, nothing happens to her or her bosses.
For some reason, this reality, that there are no rules and that our enemies will never play fair, never sinks in with dissidents. Jared Taylor has given most of his adult life to this cause, which is why he gets treated this way by the rulers. The fact that he won’t just die makes them angry. At the same time though, he has to accept that he must play by an entirely different set of rules. There will never be a debate in the public space in which he gets to challenge the people in charge. It will never happen. It can never happen.
Consequently, he cannot be seen to be trying to create such a debate. When he went on Polish TV, it was like waving a red cape in front of a bull. Every girl power tyrant in the Polish government was seeing blood. The race was on to see who could land a hit on the man who dared challenge them. From the perspective of the people in charge, simply trying to speak in the public square, their public square, is enough of a provocation to justify whatever torments they can inflict on those who dare challenge them.
That should have been the lesson of Charlottesville. If that rally had been held in Utah, the Left would not have cared that much. If it had been organized in Texas, it may not have gained any attention at all. Holding it in a college town with deep connections to the Progressive cult, was viewed by the Left as an attack. From their point of view, they gave the organizers plenty of warnings. The fact that they persisted was proof that this threat had to be dealt with through any means necessary and that is exactly what has happened.
The reality of dissident politics is it must happen in the shadows. Anyone who argues otherwise is either too stupid or too dishonest to be trusted. The public space is off-limits to anything but the very narrowly approved discourse. To keep trying to get access to the public space is only giving our rulers license to crack down harder on anything that upsets the women in corporate HR. There’s no shaming these people. There can be no appeal to their humanity, as they have no soul. There is no reasoning with them.
That means working as an underground resistance that only sees the public space as a way to increase the cost to the rulers and guide the interested into a lengthy process of allying with and perhaps joining the resistance. The model is not interwar Germany, despite what people like Richard Spencer claim. The model is occupied France or Ireland under British rule. It’s not a battle for power or the public space. It’s an everyday fight to throw sand in the gears of the occupiers, to drive up the cost of occupation.
Martin Sellner, an Austrian guy who runs Generation Identitare there, was banned from the US just recently. Tarrant, the Christchurch guy, had donated money to him a year or so back. Which got Sellner labeled a terrorist suspect in the press and his visa denied. The hunt for the Great White conspiracy is on.
I gather Sellner’s been caught up in antiterrorism investigations, and that’s messy enough, but I remember the brothers Tsarnaev being let into the States, despite a warning from Russia. Don’t think Sellner isn’t as crooked as a mountain road – you don’t get to be a Spencer or a Roosh, you know, identified primary adversaries in the dissident right by being nice and not a little douchey. But they’ve let in bigger assholes than this LARPing twerp with a fetish for aviators. [edit] Brittany Pettibone was petting Sellner’s bone at one time. Didn’t realize he was part of the trio… Read more »

Have you seen this? This is actually good news. It has disturbed me for a while that there are not enough women in the dissident right because without women there’s no future for us. If the brown and black men start rejecting white women because they’re being shamed by their peers that means these women will return to the fold chastened and submissive and in turn give men something to fight for. I think this is good news
The Heartiste noted that whites date POC because going trans-racial monetizes your whiteness into sexual market value: women from the low end of the white scale can date POC from the high end of the brown scale. Same with men: your girlfriend might be a jungle bunny, but she’s thin, she cooks, and she’s ten years younger than any white meat you could hope to score. I’m too old for that game at any rate, so for all I care, mud sharks should stay on the other side of the road. It’s not the kind of women we need on… Read more »
It’s going to make it impossible to create mudsharks.
It’s the bit about allowing them to return to the fold, I was worried about. It isn’t going to instill the right team spirit, I suspect. Billing the new right as a shelter for repenting mudsharks is not good optics. The numbers I read from the US say that about 15-20% of white women are mudsharking. That leaves 80% for us, so until we reach that fraction of the white populace, I think we can let the regressives fight over the sloppy leftovers. And women are followers. Once we get the revolution rolling, they’ll flock to us and they will… Read more »
I see what you’re saying but what I’m talking about is when I was younger all my girlfriends and I would regularly comment about how hot some black guy was. I know for sure it was pure virtue signaling on my part and i suspect it was on many of theirs because not one of us ever acted on it. I no longer pretend I find black people attractive and I wish other white women would do the same because I think a lot of them are lying and in the voice of school counselor Mackey ‘lies are bad’
Oh I don’t know if I agree. A young good-looking guy that got banned from ALL of Europe would appeal to certain kind of woman. Perhaps the right kind of woman. I know that I feel some amount of jealousy to a Spencer. Who gets banned from entire continent? That’s totally badass. So far I’ve only managed to get banned from dinky little blog comment boards.
I see. Well, it’s pretty much an open secret that all us AR guys have Yellow Fever, so I guess I shouldn’t point fingers. Besides, the issue is very different in Euroland, where most POC are Mohammadans, they don’t have the animal attraction of blacks. Nobody ever had Kebab Fever – most of the Western women who go kebab, are fat, ugly and lonely, they do it because it allows them to hide in baggy clothes and a scarf. A couple in my family was infertile and decided to adopt. The agency asked if they wanted a Danish child or… Read more »
Any woman that goes down that road is telling us she’s been damaged beyond repair. After going black you’re not welcomed back.
I have three boys, men now, and I’ve convinced hem, through raw logic and facts that mudsharking, or dating a mudshark goes against their best interests because it raises the IQ on the brown side of the issue that results at the cost of the IQ of the Caucasian side. And a white girl that mudsharks is advertising her own low IQ and self-esteem.
I’ll not not be having any mullato or mestizo grand kids.
“This is actually good news”
You’ve no idea what constitutes good news. You should be seen and not heard.
Zman, you are right.
“The reality of dissident politics is it must happen in the shadows. ” You’re certainly correct, yet this statement applies to many areas of life outside of politics. You’ve got your room-temp-IQ bureaucrats issuing a myriad of fatwas against lawnmower exhaust, raw milk, naturopathic medicine, vaccinations, and articulated truth (aka “hate speech”). Dissident Americans (otherwise known as those who embrace liberty) must live most of their life in the shadows – become the “gray” man – in order to avoid the range of bureaucratic responses, from harassment to SWAT team. We dissidents need to become much more tight-lipped (OPSEC) on… Read more »
We all seem to pretty much agree that the state won’t be fixed by voting, arguing, petitions, carrying signs, etc. Still for most of us that is hard to take onboard. It goes against the norms we grew up with, particularly if we have some mileage over the age of 50. In a crisis people revert to earlier ways of behavior that are deeply ingrained. Even if we consciously know better, when we suffer shock or outrage from the acts of an arbitrary and repressive government the tendency is to grasp at straws: The Constitution, The Founders, Freedom of Speech.… Read more »
I’m in exactly this situation, great comment. I’d throw in voting with our feet at some point, getting physical separation from the Empire as well.
An aspect we could put to better use is the rising tide we have in numbers. Years ago we were a fringe freak show of malcontents. During the Obama years it was assumed we were an anachronism on its last legs. The election of DT, in spite of the massive campaign waged against him, sent them into shock. Now they see us as a tiger or bear that needs to be caged. They poke sticks through the bars to badger us. We don’t control our own institutions. We have little control over lines of communication. Our ability to organize is… Read more »

“Nothing gonna stop them as the day follows the night

European Nationalists are being tamed, or proven to be charlatans, in much the same way as Trump. It may be time for more dissidents to examine the possibility that nationalism isn’t the eternal holistic order they thought it was. In-fact the only universal features of political history are tribes and empires where one or a few tribes exploit other tribes.
It may be time for more dissidents to examine the possibility that nationalism isn’t the eternal holistic order they thought it was.
That’s what we’re doing here, isn’t it?
At least if by ‘nationalism’, you mean ‘civic nationalism’ – tribal nationalism has indeed proven a consistent winner throughout history. The Basques survived occupation by the Carthaginians, the Romans, the Visigoths, the Moors, the Franks, the Aragonians, the Castilians and Napoleon Bonaparte, and they’re still there.
Even the Vikings gave the Basques a wide berth, preferring to raid Al Andalus instead.
Felix, I think most of the dissident right conflates tribe with race, eg. Caucasian, or macro-ethny, eg. Germanic. Tribes are only significant when they are micro-ethny like the Basq you mentioned.
Anybody paying attention to the Brexit fiasco should be ‘woke’ to the issues raised by Zman. Whether you like Trump or not, taking a meat axe to deep state regulators should be continued ad infinitum.
Trump was never a nationalist. It was just a bus he road to the presidency. Just look how he purged all nationalists from his White House and replaced them with Bush people.
Trump is a civic nationalist and figures anyone can become an American with enough tine. Its not magic soil theory but assimilation theory This is fully consistent with his views on everything, pro American trade, so the middle class his family enterprises depend on can survive and restrictions on illegal immigration so we can have assimilation This is nonsense but its not his fault for believing it, we’ve always had a weak description of what it means to be an American and Civ-Nat was the default of his day Going to a more rigid definition comes at a high price… Read more »
Yeah the old saying soap box, ballot box, cartridge box seems more logical everyday.

That means working as an underground resistance that only sees the public space as a way to increase the cost to the rulers.
We could capitalize on those costs: we target some hapless town, cold-call the mayor and the big businesses: “contribute to our war chest, or we’ll tell Antifa that we’re holding a free speech event in your town, and you can kiss your high street goodbye.”
This is how real resistance movements raise cash. The tamils had it down to a science. The LTTE had databases with every known diaspora tamil in the west and taxed them. Those that didnt want to pay were outright threatened.
Jared Taylor always conducts himself as a gentleman. He never comes off as “hateful” (which is an entirely subjective pejorative anyway). He offers a model for how other dissidents should present themselves. Taylor has been banned from Europe despite his civility. Or maybe the ban is due, in part, to his impeccable presentation. I know of no one who does a better job representing ethno-nationalism. That makes him especially dangerous to the self-destructive elements of the West.
While the new right might not be able to agree on a spokesman, I am pretty certain that Taylor would be second choice for just about all of us, the guy we’d prefer in the White House if we couldn’t have our own, personal favourite.
Hm. That came out a bit back-handed. What I meant to say, was that Taylor is probably the guy we could all agree on as a spokesman.
Taylor would probably win a poll among us if we were choose somebody to appear on a mainstream news outlet to explain our views on race.
I’ve always thought our enemies feared Taylor more than anyone from our side, because of his overall presentation, in manners, dress and articulation. There was a run back in the early to mid 2000s when you’d see Taylor on national TV, on shows like Phil Donahue and Queen Latifah, in front of a hostile, howling audience. The unflappable Taylor was very effective getting his points across. Too effective, since those appearances dried up very suddenly.
” […] This is another example of the fact that the West is no longer a world bound by fixed rules objectively enforced. […]” Let’s try to get this cleared up once and for all. Neither the West nor any other place at any time EVER has been “a world bound by fixed rules objectively enforced.” The so-called “law” is, always has been, and always will be whatever the people who enforce the “law” SAY it is. And that is ALL. The only thing different about today is that the enforcers no longer give a damn whether everybody can see… Read more »
“The people responsible are not at the top. It is people in the bureaucracies of government, the tech oligopolies or the banks. ” The Booby will say it again. Where do you think these people learned their totalitarian ideals? In the universities, of course. No one seems to get it. The universities are a one-party state. Debate and discourse are not allowed. Even outside of classes “safe spaces” are created so the delicate flowers of the one-party state are not subjected to anything aside from party dogma. These people then become our schoolteachers, our lawyers, our judges, our bureaucrats, our… Read more »
Don’t disagree but you’re not addressing the root of authoritarian conditioning – government schools. Bureaucrats aren’t made in university – they’re carefully cultivated and conditioned from kindergarten through 12-years of government schooling. It’s the Prussian model, and it works. Prussian schooling isn’t about the acquisition of knowledge or critical thinking, but conditioning to state-desired norms of non-thinking. The university merely serves to put the cherry on top … the cake is baked in K-12 government schooling.
In the spirit of identifying the primary causes for the cultural hegemony of anti-white values, the influence of the entertainment and news industries cannot be underestimated. These industries shape our deepest values and dreams.
And who controls them?
Indoctrination into the reigning values, and the mass of men and women passively accepting them, has essentially always been the status-quo. The question is: who writes the script. I’m convinced that, under democratic capitalism, aka plutodemocracy, ultimate control is held by the small elite class in control of wealth. What they do not outright own/control, they control via controlling the flow of money, on which EVERYTHING runs. I believe the natural evolution of capitalism, in which massive power is accorded to an elite class via a massive concentration of ownership/control of wealth in their hands, is absolutely central to explaining… Read more »
Which is why we should forgive all student debt. This will gut the financial structure of the modern university forcing many of these Maoist reeducation camps to fold up their tents.
Those that survive will be force to streamline and rethink how they run their universities.
Forgiving student debt, even assuming that the gov’t doesn’t make whole to the lenders, doesn’t accomplish your objective; yes it does absolve the students of repaying, but the colleges have already received their money. The banks will be losing that money, not the colleges. The banks will be unable to claw back that money from the schools. In the long run, it will force banks to carefully consider who make student loans to, and for what course of study. It will take many many years for that to take effect. We must remain ever vigilant that the government (hey, that’s… Read more »
The colleges themselves need to take the student loan forgiveness “haircut.” Colleges should be held responsible for at least half if not more of any loan default – put their skin back in the game.
Colleges should loan the money directly. That would help ensure loans were made to worthy borrowers likely to be able to use the product (education) to pay back the loan. Colleges would in turn teach useful and valuable topics, not get rich handing out useless degrees to morons.
My point was less about the bird in hand than about the future absence of birds in the bush.
I want to shut off the gravy train. 50K per student for 12,000 students suddenly drops to 25K for 5000 students.
As you said, then even at a reduced cost, the banks will be very careful about who gets $$$$.
Meanwhile, the subsidies for a lot of the lunacy that goes on will dry up.
American Universities have become progressive madrasas. They instill dogmatic adherence to the faith through repetition.
I actually thought Poland was one of the Eastern European countries that were standing against the tide of multiculturalism. I guess I have to do more research.
And Z’s comparisons to the French Resistance and Northern Ireland are spot on, I think. I remember reading an IRA manual that instructed members to become “non-political” and stop indulging in careless behaviors like “arguing about politics down at the pub”.
You would think that but Hungary also banned and arrested Spencer and duke a while back. It’s an odd ideological positioning they’re taking. Maybe they are playing the game just so, banning “hate speech,” and posturing with the west to gain political capital to oppose immigration.
Spencer is a Pro White Globalist basicsllty and Hungary is actually nationalist, Hungary for Hungarians.
Poland also allows “friends” in this case Christian Ukrainians but same thing
Spencer is just an EU with Whites only and I’d ban him from a pure nationalist nation as well
Not the US obviously even if somehow we went ultra he’s an American after all but you get the idea.
From, what I’ve read/understood, although the Polish people are highly nationalistic and anti-immigration, there’s a definite government faction that is wildly pro-EC and globalism. A number of these are (((Poles))) or are married to such. And even though there is minimal Islam in Poland, they’re busy importing Filippinos to do the work of all the Poles working in England. So they’ll still lose their country and dilute their bloodline, just a bit more slowly. The Flips and their yellow-fever apologists cannot comprehend why anyone would object to them – as fellow Catholics they claim they’re natural-born Poles – same old… Read more »
One problem with having an underground resistance is that there has to be an underground.
Most of the “Irredeemable Deplorables” are underground as it were. They were forced there by their coastal elite rulers. A country whose rulers despise the ruled will not – and cannot – last.
Absolutely. The challenge is building underground networks based on loyalty/trust and personal accountability, yet we’re often trying to do this in the age of unaccountable (and non-secure) social media. My sense is that underground resistance must first be local, and second must be truly underground, i.e. secure. I’ve run into a few well-meaning groups who want to prepare a remnant to resist, but the one thing they have in common is complete ignorance of OPSEC/COMSEC … and a second thing – readiness to welcome anyone with a MAGA hat. Good books to peruse: “Total Resistance” and “Resistance to Tyranny.” (Warning… Read more »

Boiled down, it’s about dropping out our cosmopolitan elite’s awareness. You know like how they ignore “flyover country” or any part of the U.S. that isn’t either a resort or enclave for their kind.
The point is to keep such a low public profile that you are no longer noticed by the bints and bugmen who run the system and social media and who can destroy you with a few phone calls and keystrokes.
There has to be goals more than anything. The IRA had a goal “Brits out of Northern Ireland and Unify” and while they weren’t able to fully achieve it they did get a lot more political power Our side is still reeling and hasn’t yet come up with goals.

EXCELLENT essay. One of your best!
One thing I feel compelled to mention about Charlottesville: the authorities repeatedly and publicly said beforehand that it would be safe.
In the final days leading up to the event, TDS played a recording of Mike Enoch talking to a high-tanking police official who repeatedly stated the event would be secure.
Clearly this was never GloboHomo’s intent, but it’s revisionist history to claim that the attendees went there in open defiance of law enforcement.
I agree with zman that driving up the cost of occupation is far more effective than impotently demanding your rights. They’re driving us into the shadows anyway, so better to reign in hell.
The IRA is a leftist organisation. Celtic nationalism was co-opted by the Left long ago so I’m not sure they’re a useful example.
You’re right, Skip. The IRA were all socialists. The advice I cited in the manual is, nevertheless, still a good idea for dissidents, I think.
And you don’t think there are ‘infiltrators’ in the dissident movement today? Look at what they relentlessly attempted to do to Trump’s campaign staff. They will never quit and simply leave the battlefield.
Think tactics, not philosophy. Our Thing **desperately** needs a Lenin. His philosophy was as wrong as human thought can be, but his tactics were world class.
So what? This fight is not about economic systems . I’m certainly certainly not going to revolt for capitalism as I am an economic nationalist and have no problem whatever with Social Democracy Fighting over economics is just money cucking and if I wanted that the globalists will support me there.

The Booby’s with you on the FU money plan, Spud.
Men of this age have to look out for themselves. That means becoming financially independent as quickly as possible. Stay out of debt. Don’t marry, not even common-law. Don’t have kids. Don’t date women with kids. The laws are designed to take you down financially and keep you indentured to your ex, to the kids you have no rights to, and to your job, all while the government takes its cut.
It’s a sucker’s game. Let the Booby’s words guide our brothers out of the muck.
I never miss a chance to honor the brave Michigan college student who several years back designated his preferred pronoun as “His Majesty”. Too obviously cheeky for your purposes however.
Spud Boy: Quit now, or, you will not be able to live with yourself. You do not need to suffer through corporate BS.
Five years is a long time. Hope you make it.
Strong Analysis. Yes, the bureaucrat who initiated this was hoping for high drama and maximum sadism. They envisaged Jared being hustled away by a squad of state police just before delivering his Scandza speech. This would inflict the most shock upon the attendees and make them think twice before publically associating with other Dissidents.
what’s needed is a plant in the machine to leak the addresses
I was thinking about your trip to Europe when I read Jared’s post last night. Probably smart to keep your anonymity as long as you can as many of us will no longer be welcome in our ancestral homelands soon, while those same homelands welcome invading hordes of Africans.
As a European, this thought was one of the most sickening when they banned Richard Spencer from Hungary and thus the entire Schengen zone a few years back.
Our degenerate overlords fawn over even the scummiest and most useless poccer but when a white person they don’t like shows up they just ban them with no realistic way of challenging that ban.
Then they continue to lecture us European right wingers on western values, how not to be divided and the like.
When we get banned, we have to take it stoically. The an-coms delight in calling us “hypocrites” for our support of “border control”, and that’s easy rube bait right there.
I also tend to favor localism in politics, so if transnational conferences are harder to pull off, its water off a ducks back to me.
I get the concern for the power of petty bureaucrats, but FFS, he’s a “white identitarian”. IOW, he’s an asshole. A provocateur who -like those Conservative, Inc. types you go on about- makes a career out of his ideological stance, and needs confrontation to market his brand. This martyrdom is a gift. And who needs air travel, anyway? Teleconferencing is cheaper.
The system is collapsing of its own accord, no need to (try and) hurry it along. Better to figure out what is coming next, and position yourself for that eventuality. Teaparty Doc is a good example of this, with his farm and farming experience/knowledge. Acquire real world skills, make connections with like minded people (without conspiring to take down the government) and have emergency setup ready. And for fukk’s sake, don’t live amongst the savages!? IMO, Zman is the Timothy Treadwell of negroe studies 🙂
I can’t imagine ZMan will ever grab some sheboon’s poop and lovingly declare “this just came out of her!”

The Dissident Right needs to transform itself into the Old Left. From History’s vantage, we are where they were in the mid-19th century — we have all the hot new ideas, the most formidable thinkers, but we’re badly splintered and spend far more time squabbling with each other than fighting the enemy. Most early Communist groups never did anything but give themselves a self-dramatizing name, and they lost 3/4 of their membership in the infighting over it. Or they worried too much about what the world would look like after The Revolution. We need a Lenin, a guy who looked… Read more »
Caution you are about to enter Schengen Zone.
Banned from Schengen is the least of it. You’ve got to assume that after Charlottesville, Pittsburgh and Christchurch that the FBI and the rest of the apparatus of the American police state have every intention of ruthlessly suppressing the dissident right in the same way that they suppressed the Communist Party, the KKK, the Weathermen, the John Birch Society, the Black Panthers, etc. Notice, for example, how Lt. Christopher Hasson was entrapped and arrested on the flimsy pretext of a weapons and possession of controlled substances charge. It’s happening.
This is not petty bitchiness. It’s fear. Like you, he made the mistake of getting people to think. I arrived at this exact point 3 years ago in dealings with my proggie family.

“Tragic pessimist George Orwell could not have foreseen that individuals would give up their freedom to be punitive Big Brother themselves.” – Joyce Carol Oates, 2014
Reading Solzhenitsyn is strangely white-pilling for me nowadays. The Soviet era samizdat subculture provides some lessons we can use in our Woke New World. Z hits the most important nail on the head by stressing that there won’t be a cinematic confrontation with the forces of evil. IRL, Tiananmen Tank Guy is how that movie ends. This is a long culture war. To win, we first have to survive. Mark Steyn’s After America had a bit where he riffed on how illegals have learned to “live in the shadows” quite nicely, borrowing from Victor Davis Hanson’s pieces on the Mexification… Read more »
Yours is an important point and I agree completely.
Z is wrong that the France and Ireland are the models of resistance. In both of those cases, the resistance was armed, militant, had ethnic and/or religious cohesion, and had the goal of driving invaders out. That is impossible for us. The model of resistance for us is the Soviet model. We are the samizdat. FedGov has more power, and a bigger empire than the USSR ever did. Sure, we don’t have the Siberian gulag — yet — because it’s easier for them to mesmerize their childish subjects with trinkets made in China, football, and porn. Still, we’ve got more… Read more »
This post brought to mind your podcast of Feb. 8, the part about “Learning from Failure,” at the 42 min. mark. That post had a big effect on me….I’d like to suggest that people re-listen. Some good lessons therein… 1) there’s no going back…we are going to be a minority 2) there’s no winning in the current system, we can’t vote our way out 3) don’t engage the other side on their terms i.e. you can’t adhere to anti-racism and anti-semitism as the terms of engagement, and still root for your own team. 4) there no point in “conversation” with… Read more »
Gus or Zman, which episode is 8 Feb? I rarely listen to podcasts but felt like trying one today, but cannot find the segment you seem to be referring to.
Terrible what they did to Mr. Taylor. Petty tyrants, indeed. I did not get the sentence about childless women doing this though. It very well could have been a Muslim bureaucrat with several children at home being watched by his burqa-clad slave. Anyhow. Totally agree the other side has no soul.
“To keep trying to get access to the public space is only giving our rulers license to crack down harder on anything that upsets the women in corporate HR. There’s no shaming these people. There can be no appeal to their humanity, as they have no soul. There is no reasoning with them.” Or, instead of trying to unravel this ever growingly complex Gordian Knot we simply cut it Alexander style. Pain & Fear. Like the repeating parrot I say it again. These work EVERY single time. This will end in bloodshed, sooner or later, it has no other outcome… Read more »
“It’s an everyday fight to throw sand in the gears of the occupiers, to drive up the cost of occupation.”
Exactly. Of the three things one needs to wage war; Resurces; Means; Will, we must focus on destroying the reprobates will to fight. The best way to make bugmen cringe is to make the cost of waging war on us too high.
Apparently, Anonymous Conservative has been deplatformed. No lonk today.
I think Poland may have thrown Taylor to the wolves to garner some positive press in European capitols. The red-‘n white flag has come under withering attack for being a White-Supremicist nation. Tossing Jared, a noted figure in the alt-right, to Belgium’s censors costs Poland nothing, while it may prod the Eurocrats to give the trad-Nats in Warsaw a little breathing room.
Why would one stage a rally in Utah to protest the renaming of a park and removal of a statue in Charlottesville?
The residents of Charlottesville and the surrounding county are 2-1 voting Dem. They did not welcome the presence of the rally, Jason Kessler was the only prominent local involved. If you need the presence of the National Guard to ensure security, you’ve already lost. The left is not content to “counter-protest”, the stated aims of the an-coms are that they are a “self-defense militia” to “do the job the police won’t”. What they want is for every member of a dissident movement to be either jailed or economically marginalized as to encourage others to quit. Protesting statue removal was a… Read more »
Also, misdirection and misinformation. Back in the 1980s, the British soccer hooligans were at the zenith. Each team had its own gang of hooligans (known as a “firm”) and each firm had its own boss (known as a “top boy”). The Sheffield United “Top Boy” was a guy known only as “Fletch”. But Fletch was an enigma, wrapped in a mystery. Nobody seemed to know his identity or what he looked like. He was only ever spoken about in hushed tones and he gave orders to the firm which they carried out e.g. be at this place place and this… Read more »
Re: ” For example, we know petty tyrants at Amazon are responsible for the rash of book banning there. It’s not Jeff Bezos or some C-level executive making these decisions.”
It is happening on his watch, and since Jeff Bezos has not taken a public stand against such corporate behavior, it may safely be assumed he agrees with it. That’s how it works when you own a company. The buck has to stop somewhere – and that “somewhere” is at Bezos’ desk.
